Chapter 378: The picturesque face

"My opinion is that the Queen's words have their own truth. I particularly suspect that the Queen asked you to find the secret edict of the late Emperor!"

Prince Lin pursed his lips slightly: "Maybe it's true! But I thought that the dowry that your mother and concubine brought into the Xiahou Mansion had fallen into the hands of Concubine Liu. I guess I want to find out the share of the dowry from those dowries.

The emperor's secret edict is like finding a needle in a haystack! What's more, has the dowry been squandered by Liu Concubine? Even if the late emperor's secret edict is included in the dowry, it has probably been circulated as money.

It’s unknown!”

Xia Lingyue looked slightly anxious. King Lin's words were not unreasonable, and it was not like she had never thought of them.

"Hey... what should we do? The world is so big, where can we find the secret edict of the late emperor?"

She looked solemn and sighed.

"So I say this is like looking for a needle in a haystack!"

King Lin sat crookedly on the edge of the stone table with his hands on his cheeks, looking at the wild cat on the eaves of the palace in the distance.

As the sun sets in the west, among the green trees in the distance, the wild cat on the eaves of the palace is licking its paws with relish again, and it looks quite comfortable.

"Hey...concubine! Your spirit in heaven can remind me! What should I do? What should I do?"

Xia Lingyue caressed Wanjian's palace bell bracelet in boredom. The bell on the bracelet made a crisp sound of "ding ding ding ling" on her fingertips.

"What to do... what to do... what to do..."

She stared at the table in boredom, when suddenly there was a "ding" sound, and one of the small bells on the palace bell bracelet on her wrist fell onto the stone table and made a crisp sound.

"Oops! My bell is broken!"

She suddenly frowned and anxiously picked up the small bell that had fallen on the stone table and had split into two pieces.

"Oh! Why are you so careless? Let me take a look!"

King Lin saw her picking up the silver shell from the cracked little bell on the table, and their eyes suddenly lit up: "Oh! What is this?"

Xia Lingyue stretched out her fingers in confusion and picked up a golden key on the stone table.

"This is a golden key!"

King Lin exclaimed, and then he took out the palace bell bracelet in his arms.

"Is there any secret hidden in this bracelet?"

Xia Lingyue suddenly stopped his urge to break open the bracelet to find out.

"......Don't! If you break this bracelet, how will you open your underground secret passages? If the secret passages underneath cannot be opened, won't all your years of hard work be in vain?"

Xia Lingyue's words made him hesitate again, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

"You said we should go find the craftsman who specializes in jewelry! At least he can open it for us and restore it to its original state!"

King Lin was stunned: "This... But if we go specifically to hire craftsmen, King Ying must be watching our every move very closely now, fearing that the news will be exposed.

?”

Xia Lingyue thought for a long time, her brows furrowed into a slight ripple.

"What should we do about this...? It is indeed a problem!"

King Lin also fell into anxiety: "That's true! One more thing, if there are any important secrets in this bracelet, wouldn't it be very troublesome if it were leaked?"

Xia Lingyue also got angry: "Really, why did you entrust the design of your secret passage mechanism to this palace bell bracelet? Moreover, the design is quite complicated, and all the styles of one hundred and eight mechanisms were entrusted to me.

I bought this pair of bracelets! What do you think? There was no other backup method when designing, so what did you think?"

King Lin felt a little aggrieved. He complained to Xia Lingyue: "How do I know? I always thought that one day I would find you and repay you for the palace bell bracelet! Who knew that this bracelet was still hidden?

With such a huge secret? You are so inconsiderate!"

"Okay! Okay! I think there may be no better way..."

Xia Lingyue's eyes suddenly fell on the two cracked silver shells of the palace bell bracelet in her hand, and her eyes suddenly lit up!

"What's the matter?"

King Lin asked eagerly.

"I think that although the two pieces of silver shell are cracked, they can definitely be closed, and as long as they are handled properly after closing, it should not affect the original shape of the bracelet."

She fiddled with the silver shell of the bell on her fingertips, and she felt that there must be a solution.

"That's it! How about we give it a try! After opening all these bells, we will take them to the craftsmen to repair them according to their original condition."

Xia Lingyue looked left and right, her expression becoming a little complicated.

"Let's be careful! Just in case the partition wall has ears..."

King Lin was also attracted by her mysterious and reserved expression, and he also looked around.

"Um………………"

King Lin's sharp eyes fell on the slope of the Lingxiao Tower. The half of the stone steps loomed, revealing another shocking secret. Just within their sight, another pair of sneaky eyes were shining.

"oh………………"

Xia Lingyue understood instantly, because a wisp of smoke-colored clothes was clearly exposed, and the silk tassels on the clothes were still fluttering in the wind.

"Okay! You are indeed right! We must not get drunk today and never come home!"

With that said, Xia Lingyue and King Lin got closer again.

Emperor Ji stood up and faced King Ying who was kneeling in front of the palace, his face filled with joy.

When Concubine Jiang saw this, her expression suddenly changed, as if she had torn off a piece of dough, and she immediately burst into laughter.

"Oh! Here I am! What a talented and powerful person! I never thought that I and the Emperor would be so blessed. Today is really a happy day for the Sixth Palace!"

Emperor Ji helped King Ying to stand up. Of course, Concubine Jiang would not miss such an ecstatic opportunity.

"My good son is so lovable! I didn't expect that this time he would help the emperor solve his problems! Hahahaha..."

Prince Lin and all the ministers under the palace all bowed their heads and remained silent. They just looked at each other and whispered secretly.

Xia Lingyue secretly sneered: "Yes! The imperial concubine is unrivaled in magnificence, and the prince is so talented that just one look at her will make you heart-wrenching!"

"Well?!!!………………"

Emperor Ji was suddenly stunned: "What do you mean by this?"

Concubine Jiang was stunned when she heard this. In the blink of an eye, she was secretly shaking with anger. She suddenly said with a smile on her face: "Your Majesty, do you still need to ask? Our princess is praising me!"

"Oh... Is it because I am too tired for the past few days? Did you hear wrong?"

He rubbed his forehead thoughtfully and continued to restore his smile.

"Okay, okay!"

Concubine Jiang grabbed Xia Lingyue's hand before Emperor Ji, with a smile on her face.

"Ouch!"

Xia Lingyue suddenly screamed and twisted her body wildly.

"Eh? What's wrong?"

Emperor Ji looked at Concubine Jiang in shock and saw a panicked look on her face.

"ah………………"

Concubine Jiang timidly withdrew her hand and said with a smile: "Nothing! Nothing!......"

Then her eyes wandered again, and she glanced at Xia Lingyue with an uneasy expression, pretending to cover up and creating a mystery.

"Oh! I really like this princess so much! I was a little too strong, I'm really sorry!"

Concubine Jiang took the initiative to open the skylight and speak frankly.

"Oh! It's nothing. The imperial concubine's wrists are really powerful! It can be seen that they have been practiced for a long time. I think there should be no other person in the Sixth Palace who can use such heavy methods as the imperial concubine, right? That moment just now

It really hurts..."

King Lin looked at Xia Lingyue in surprise: "How do you know? It feels like what you are saying is like you are the person in the dark. It sounds really lifelike!"

Xia Lingyue pursed her lips and smiled: "Haha... How do I know? Because I have seen a lot of this kind of house fighting since I was a child!"

King Lin said in astonishment: "Why are there always so many plots against each other? Can't we live in harmony and have peace in the world?"

Hearing this, Xia Lingyue smiled teasingly: "What a beautiful thought you have! Of course you men want the main palace to be outstanding and the side palace to be full of fragrance! But after all, there is only one outstanding person, so wouldn't the existence of others be like a piece of grass?

? If everything is as beautiful as you think, your queen mother will not end up being a thief!"

These words made King Lin's body suddenly tremble, and a burst of long-lost anger once again rushed from his Dantian along the veins of his back to the top of his head...

Thinking of this, Xia Lingyue's slender fingers couldn't help but secretly clenched into fists……………………………………………………………………………………
